Holy Cannoli

I was reading the news the other day when I ran across this story. I want you to zoom in
and get a good look at the picture:

That there is a picture… a pho-to-graph… of a living
creature. I will let that sink in for a second.

Yikes! The thing looks like
somebody’s science fiction nightmare – or a piece of animation from Monty
Python’s Flying Circus. But it’s real – and that thing sticking out of
its head is basically a flashlight it uses to lure prey. There’s even
a video available if you think the picture was photoshopped – sharks
with frickin’ laser beams, indeed!

The fact that it’s only nine
centimeters long will have no bearing on the fact that it shall henceforth
occupy a prominent position in my (and now your) personal nightmares.
